Abstract: The invention pertains to the field of medicine and relates to a method for suppressing the growth of tumors, which comprises blocking the pathway of "human fibroblast growth factor / human fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (domains II and IIIc)", and to a method for diagnosing malignant neoplasms. This pathological pathway leads to an excessive proliferation of tumor cells and to the formation of new vessels accompanied by the growth of primary tumors and metastases. This pathway also represents an independent mechanism of tumor resistance to pharmaceutical preparations affecting other pathological pathways. Blocking the pathway of "fibroblast growth factor / fibroblast growth factor receptor 1" using various substances that neutralize the receptor by binding only to domains II and IIIc thereof results in the inhibition or slow-down of tumor growth. This receptor can also be used as a target for targeted delivery of diagnostic agents as it is present in large amounts in the cells of numerous tumors. The invention is advantageous in that it makes it possible to develop new agents for diagnosing and treating diseases related to excessive proliferation and neovascularization.

Abstract: Disclosed is a signal generation device for use in a system for inputting information using an ultrasonic signal. The present invention has a unique design for naturally supporting the tip portion of a pen without requiring a separate configuration such as a retainer, by having a cross- sectional area (diameter) at a certain section of the pen tip which is different from the cross-sectional area of the remaining sections such that the remaining sections are held by the interior sides of the housing or the cap portion. Pen tips according to the prior art require retainers which gradually loose elasticity after long-term use which lead to decline of the ability to support the pen tip. In contrast, the present invention is able to support the tip of the pen in a stable manner irrespective of long-tern use by utilizing the unique structure of the pen tip itself which is held inside the housing.

Abstract: A coating film (P) capable of restricting an electric current from flowing from a rotation shaft member (40) to each of slide bushes (50) is formed in a portion of an outer circumferential surface (40c) of the rotation shaft member (40), which portion includes a part (S2, S3) of a contact portion thereof that slidably contacts each of the slide bushes (50) in a rotational axis direction and at least a proximity range (S4) thereof that is positioned in proximity to an exposed end periphery (53) of each of the slide bushes (50). Therefore, when ED coating as a rust prevention measure is applied to a vehicle main body (M1), an ED coating film that can possibly be cracked and peeled off does not exist in boundary portions between the rotation shaft member (40) and the slide bushes (50). Therefore, even when the slide bushes 50 are rotated relative to the rotation shaft member 40, so-called "coating irregularity" cannot be generated in a subsequent coating process. To the contrary, as an electricity supply portion (S1) of the rotation shaft member (40) of the vehicle door hinge (10) is set to "3.5 mm," the electric current from the female bracket (20) can be supplied to the slide bushes (50) via the rotation shaft member (40) without any resistance.

Abstract: In a situation where a conventional inductive throttle sensor is used with a motor-driven throttle valve device to detect the rotation angle of a throttle shaft (4), plural sensor connection conductor sections (21) for connecting a connector terminal to a circuit board terminal section are formed on the cover (20) on one lateral surface side of a circuit board (18) in the long-axis direction. This increases the dimension of the cover (20) in the short-axis direction (the dimension in the direction of air flow in an intake path (1)). Consequently, it is difficult to install the motor-driven throttle valve device and inductive throttle sensor in a narrow engine room. This problem is addressed by using a separate member to achieve electrical conduction between a stator circuit board (18) and a conductor routed inside the cover (20) installed over the stator circuit board (18) in a concentrated manner on one side of the circuit board (18). The problem is also addressed by disposing plural electrical conduction spots (21) in a decentralized manner and away from a protrusion provided to limit the amount of axial movement of a gear (10, 13, 15).

Abstract: Methods and devices for controlling access to digital content. The digital content is split into at least one code part (212; 222) and one scrambled part (214; 224). A codec (129) of a user device (120) finds (530) that the first part is not scrambled and plays it. The first part (212) comprises code to be retrieved and entered (540) by a user. Using the input code, the codec (129) generates (550) a corresponding scrambling key, possibly also using additional information such as a current time. The codec (129) then detects (560) an upcoming scrambled part and uses the generated scrambling key to descramble (570) and display the scrambled section. In a preferred embodiment, instead of entering part of the code itself, the codec (129) generates, using e.g. metadata and time, to generate part of the code to display to the user.
